This afternoon our 2000 310DA with V-Drives gave us some trouble on the starboard side. As we throttled up to cruising speed the starboard engine RPM maxed out at 3000rpm before the boat even came up on plane. We could advance both throttles, and the port side would continue to increase the rpms, but the starboard side would stay between 2800-3000 rpm no matter how far forward we pushed the throttle. We throttled back and shifted to nuetral, and both engines would throttle up just fine to 4000-5000rpm. When we put it back in gear and tried to slowly throttle both back up, the starboard wouldn't go any higher than 3000rpm. The boat still couldn't get on plane and our max speed was about 10 knots. We had the nose trimmed fully down but it still would get on plane. Any thoughts? Thanks
